With two ARCA Racing Series victories this season, Grant Enfinger of Fairhope is tied for the second-most wins on the circuit, behind nine-time series champion Frank Kimmel, who has three. Kimmel has competed in all 18 ARCA races this season. When Enfinger won the Prairie Meadows 150 at Iowa Speedway on Saturday night, he was racing for the seventh time this season and the first time since June 14.

So on Monday, Enfinger already was back at work, hoping he'll have the opportunity to race in two of the three remaining ARCA events.

"It was definitely a good one," Enfinger said, "but we're back in North Carolina and ready to, hopefully, start on our Kentucky car this week. I think we're going to Kentucky in a couple of weeks, so we're going to have everything in shape to do that. I believe all things are looking like that's going to happen."

The Iowa victory came in Enfinger's 50th ARCA race. He drove the full ARCA schedule in 2011, when he finished fourth in the points standings. In the 2012 season, his outings on the national touring circuits were limited to six ARCA races and three races in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

At the season-opening race at Daytona in February, Team BCR announced Enfinger would drive its No. 90 Ford 10 times in 2013 - at the ARCA races being televised live nationally. It hasn't worked out that way. Three of those races went off without Enfinger at the track. He was able to put together funding to add starts at Mobile and Salem, putting him in the first five races of the season. But he's been in only two of the 13 since.

"Overall, I guess, being up here in North Carolina for the past five years, nothing has really surprised me," Enfinger said, "but it's disappointed me not to be at the racetrack as much as we originally thought we were going to be this year.

"But I haven't been disappointed with how we've run, and that's my main priority. I would rather go to the track fewer times and be where we want to be when we get there. So that part, I can't say I'm disappointed with. I think all except Michigan we were in contention to win. There're not a whole lot of people that can say that. I feel like performance-wise, we've obviously been there. But the business side of the sport is obviously just as tough as ever, and it is for me. That's kind of the part I've always struggled with.

"It's tough for everybody financially to make all this stuff feasible. I definitely appreciate all the opportunities we've gotten. We still have local support down there from Triple K Construction. And a lot of the guys from down there come up for the races to help us still once we do get there, so that's pretty cool. Even though we're racing in Iowa, we still have support from home."

Enfinger's first ARCA victory came at home: He won the ARCA-Mobile 200 at Mobile International Speedway on March 9. That breakthrough came after he'd finished second or third 14 times in his 44 ARCA starts. Because Fox Sports 2 televised the Iowa race live nationally and Fox Sports 1 replayed it on Sunday morning, Enfinger hopes the exposure helps him stay on the track.

"I think there's a little more exposure being on TV," Enfinger said. "Obviously, the Mobile win has a little more sentimental value to me being in my home state with the home crowd there. This win is probably a little bit bigger career-wise just because it is on a little bit bigger stage.

"The Mobile race, we kind of had a dominant car. Iowa, we really didn't. We were kind of like normal, where we were really, really close and just maybe didn't have quite enough for a win, and it finally broke our way. We were able to try a different line on the outside, and it really, really worked."

Enfinger led all but one lap from Laps 90 through 114 in the 150-lap race on Saturday night. He didn't lead again until passing Kyle Weatherman on the 144th lap, and he stayed in front the rest of the way.

"When we were on the bottom like always there, we got the lead and then were kind of going backwards," Enfinger said. "We'd fallen back to third, and I had somebody pass me on the bottom. I was in the middle of the track, what I thought was the outside, and Kyle Weatherman passed me on the real outside and showed me there was a lot of speed up there. A couple of laps later, I jumped up there, and we started marching back to the front."

The victory continued Enfinger's string of strong showings at Iowa. In his previous three races at the seven-eighths-of-a-mile oval, he'd finished second, fourth and third.

"I think there are some places as a driver you have a handle on," Enfinger said of Iowa Speedway. "Going into the weekend, I thought we had a good chance at having a win there. But when we unloaded for practice, we were way off. But Kelly Kovski, who was crew chiefing the race for me -- we've got a lot of experience together -- he kind of knows where I need to be, and I know where I need to be balance-wise, and it just seemed to work out. Other than that, I really don't know how to explain. Some places you have good luck, and some places you don't.

"Iowa is one of those places that's not really a short track, not really an intermediate track. It's just a different animal. There's enough room to change your line if you need to and enough room to get out of trouble a lot of times when it does happen. It's just one of those places I've kind of taken to."

Enfinger won't be at Salem Speedway for the ARCA race on Sunday, but he hopes to drive the No. 90 Motor Honey-Casite-Advance Ford in the final two races of the ARCA season at Kentucky Speedway on Sept. 20 and Kansas Speedway on Oct. 4. Both races will be televised live on Fox Sports 1. Enfinger has finished third three times in three races at Kansas. He has a second-place finish at Kentucky.
